You can set the measurement scale used by AutoREALM when computing distances with push pins or the ruler tools. To set the scale of your map, use File | Properties or press Alt+Enter (click on the Measurement tab if necessary).

NOTE: To set the scale, you must have a grid displayed on your map (click on any one of the three grid buttons ). The scale settings are relative to the grid being displayed; if your grid is turned off, you will not be able to change distances on your map.

Click on any part of this picture where appears for an explanation of that feature.
